Farus designs, migrates, and operates AWS and Azure environments for companies that can't afford downtime — backed by BCMEX's 15-year track record in business continuity and cloud operations.
Farus is the cloud practice of BCMEX — 15 years in business continuity and cloud operations, delivering from Monterrey into Texas and the United States.
The architecture looks clean in the proposal. Then costs creep past forecast, security gaps surface in the first audit, and the team that built it has moved to the next project. You're left maintaining a system nobody fully documented.
Cloud spend growing faster than workload growth, with no clear owner.
Landing zones built for the migration, not for steady-state operations.
Compliance gaps found during the audit, not before it.
No defined RTO/RPO — until the outage forces the conversation.
Each pillar maps to a stage of your cloud lifecycle — see how they connect further down the page.
Understand where you actually stand, then design a landing zone built to last past the migration.
Application portfolio assessments and data-driven cloud adoption strategy aligned to your actual business objectives.
Landing zones built on the AWS and Azure Well-Architected Frameworks, deployed as Infrastructure as Code.
Move workloads without moving your risk — treated as one discipline, not two separate handoffs.
Workload migration, containerization, and CI/CD pipelines that move you to the cloud without relocating your technical debt.
Cloud Security Posture Management mapped to ISO 27001 — built to pass the audit before it happens.
Keep it running, keep it accountable — operations and cost as a single feedback loop, not two separate bills.
24/7 monitoring backed by a dedicated Network Operations Center — real-time visibility, not a dashboard nobody checks.
Continuous right-sizing, reserved capacity planning, and waste elimination — turning your bill from a mystery into a lever.
Every engagement is built on named frameworks and standards — not internal opinions about best practice.
| Area | Frameworks & Standards |
|---|---|
| Architecture & Landing Zones | AWS & Azure Well-Architected Framework |
| Security & Compliance | ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST |
| Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery | ISO 22301 |
| Energy & Utilities Workloads | NERC CIP |
| Cost Management | FinOps Foundation principles |
| Service Operations | ITIL-aligned incident & change management |
Capabilities describe what we do. This is how you actually engage us — four entry points, each one a reasonable place to start on its own.
Cloud Cost & Risk Assessment, Landing Zone & Security Review, or Migration Readiness Assessment — scoped, fast, and built to tell you exactly where you stand.
A defined migration, a hardening engagement, a specific fix — clear start date, clear deliverable, clear end date.
Ongoing operation under one of three response tiers (see Support below), billed monthly, scoped to what you actually run.
Senior cloud engineering capacity embedded with your team on an ongoing basis — for organizations that need continuous senior bandwidth, not another vendor relationship.
A packaging manufacturer in Mexico was running guest Wi-Fi on the same routing layer as its production servers and Active Directory — any visitor device could attempt to reach internal systems, with no access control in place. In a focused 5-day assessment and remediation engagement, we corrected the network segmentation, isolated guest Wi-Fi behind the firewall, and closed a direct path from an unauthenticated network to production data.
Target RTO ≤ 2 hours, RPO ≤ 15 minutes, immutable backup, and continuous FinOps review — typically reduces non-productive cloud spend 10–25%.
Energy and utility environments carry a different bar: NERC CIP compliance, OT/IT segmentation, and infrastructure that can't have an unplanned maintenance window. We architect cloud environments that respect that boundary — segmented from operational technology, built for the audit trail regulators expect, and designed around planned change windows instead of best-effort scheduling.
We build auto-scaling architectures tested against real peak-load scenarios, so infrastructure scales before the outage — not after it. From point-of-sale uptime to inventory system resilience, retail environments get architected for the one week a year that matters most.
A financial services company processing high-volume transactions needed an architecture that couldn't go down. We designed and implemented their high-availability architecture, led the full cloud migration, and built the underlying infrastructure with redundancy at every layer.
Our team includes engineers with prior AWS experience delivering cloud migrations for Tier-1 financial institutions.
Cloud readiness scorecard + cost baseline.

Farus is the cloud arm of BCMEX — a firm built on business continuity, not just infrastructure. That means our architects design for the failure scenario from the start, including automated Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery planning — not a document that sits in a drawer until it's too late, but a tested, automated response to the failure you didn't see coming.
Every architecture starts from the failure scenario — 15 years of managing what happens when systems go down, not just how to stand them up.
Same time zone as Houston, English-first by default, direct access to the engineers doing the work — not a relay through an account manager.
Every engagement maps to a named standard — Well-Architected, ISO 27001, ISO 22301 — not an internal opinion about best practice.
Farus isn't a distant outsourcing shop with an account manager as your only point of contact. Our team works Central Time, communicates in business English, and documents everything in English by default.
Same time zone as Houston — no overnight handoffs, no waiting for tomorrow's standup.
English-first documentation, contracts, and day-to-day communication.
Defined response tiers, not a ticket queue — see Support below.
Direct access to the engineers doing the work — not a relay through an account manager.
Not every system needs the same response time — and paying for 24/7 emergency response on a system that can wait until Monday is wasted spend. Farus runs on BCMEX's 24x7x365 Network Operations Center, and we scope the response tier to match what each workload actually needs.
| Tier | Coverage | Built for |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Business hours, Monday–Friday | Internal, non-critical systems |
| Priority | 24/7 for critical incidents, response in hours | Business systems — downtime is costly but briefly tolerable |
| Emergency | 24x7x365 NOC, immediate response | Production-critical — zero tolerance for downtime |
Most IT teams migrate expecting to save money — and end up with a bigger bill instead. Not because of bad architecture, but because of what happens after go-live.
Every cloud migration starts with a business case built on savings: move off aging on-prem hardware, stop paying for capacity you don't use, cut the datacenter lease. Six months later, the invoice tells a different story.
This isn't usually a failure of architecture. It's a failure of governance. Once workloads land in the cloud, teams keep managing them the way they managed a datacenter — provision once, forget about it — instead of treating cloud spend as something that needs continuous attention. The result is predictable: idle compute nobody decommissioned, storage tiers nobody revisited, and a monthly bill that only Finance actually reads, usually after the fact.
Closing that gap is what FinOps — cloud financial management — is built to do. Not as a tool you buy, but as a practice: give engineering real-time visibility into what they're spending, and make cost part of the same conversation as performance and security, instead of a surprise that shows up in a monthly report.
The upside is larger than most teams expect: once an organization matures from paying for what it might need to paying for what it actually uses, reserved capacity and Savings Plans can cut compute costs by up to 72% compared to on-demand pricing. But that only works once there's real visibility into which workloads are stable enough to commit to.
Treat the migration as step one, not the finish line. The teams that actually see the savings they modeled are the ones who keep optimizing after go-live.
When a cloud provider has a regional outage, companies that only relied on multiple Availability Zones inside that same region get caught exposed.
When a major cloud provider has a regional outage, the aftermath follows a familiar pattern: a wave of postmortems from companies that assumed they were protected, and weren't.
Most of them had done real work. They'd deployed across multiple Availability Zones, which is genuinely good practice — it protects against the failure of a single data center inside a region. What it doesn't protect against is the region itself having a bad day.
That distinction rarely matters until it does. Multi-AZ is about resilience within a region: if one data center goes down, traffic shifts to another one nearby, usually in milliseconds. Multi-region is about what happens when the entire region — every AZ in it — becomes unavailable at once. It's rarer, but when it happens, only a multi-region architecture keeps you running.
Building for multi-region isn't automatic, and it isn't free. It means replicating data across regions with a defined RPO, deciding how failover actually gets triggered, and testing that failover under real conditions — not just diagramming it. A disaster recovery plan that has never been executed is a hypothesis, not a plan.
The question worth asking isn't whether your architecture uses multiple Availability Zones. Most modern deployments do, by default. The question is what happens to your business if the entire region goes down — and whether you've actually tested the answer, or just assumed it.
Tell us where things stand today. We'll come to the call with questions, not a slide deck.
